DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

 

Portions of the registrant’s definitive Proxy Statement to be delivered to shareholders in connection with the registrant’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 7, 2023 are incorporated by reference into Part III of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    
Amendment Description Explanatory Note  On March 15, 2023, Aware, Inc. (the “Company”) filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Original Form 10-K”). The Company is amending the Original Form 10-K to correct errors in Exhibit 23.1 included in the Original Form 10-K, which resulted in Exhibit 23.1 not conforming to the consent provided by the independent registered public accounting firm and to correct a typographical error in the Exhibit Table in the Original Form 10-K. This Amendment No. 1 to the Original Form 10-K (the “Amendment”) amends the Original Form 10-K solely to revise the consent of our independent registered public accounting firm, RSM US LLP (“RSM”) filed originally as Exhibit 23.1. The consent included in the Original Form 10-K inadvertently omitted the incorporation by reference into the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-261273). The correct consent of RSM is filed hereto as Exhibit 23.1. As required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), new certifications by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed herewith as exhibits to this Amendment pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) or 15d-14(a) of the Exchange Act. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 or 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. Except as described above, no other amendments are being made to the Original 10-K. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original 10-K or modify or update the disclosure contained therein in any way other than as required to reflect the amendments discussed above.
